Between reality and fiction, before meets after.
Time is a measurement generally considered to be linear and we believe
that this perception is limiting. OPTIONALTIME aims to give its viewers a
more dynamic experience of the reality they are in.
It uses new new media to create a non-linear and therefore less limited experience of one of our most
influential navigation systems: time.
OPTIONALTIME is a way of experiencing time that makes no distinction
between the moment just passed, the present and the (concept of the)
future.
